Clear worm like creature in my tank

I noticed a clear worm like thing in my tank. I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't on the glass, but I followed it moving along the sand bed.

 

Here's a video of it:

 

Anyone know what it is? Should I take it out if I see it again?

 

Here's another video:

May be a Polyclad Flatworm...good sized one whichever species it is. Larger flatworms like this are often predatory on clams, snails, etc, so make sure you get it out.

There is a crazy vieo on the youtube about a polyclad chasing a crab across the land in a tide pool.

Unless you have expensive clams they could be a cool inhabitant. Every now and then order a snail pack from reef cleaners and request a couple extra snails. You will have food for it forever.

It doesn't look like any Polyclad Flatworm that I have ever seen. I've also never seen anything like that before.

If it is a flatworm, I'll probably take it out if I see it again. Don't want it eating up all my snails.

 

I also saw a small, brown slug looking thing sliding across my glass. Kinda like a small snail without it's shell.

 

So many hitchhikers just popping out now lol
